B.F.Goodrich FIRST IN RUBBER cerned. The fact that many peo ple drive vehicles with poor brakes was shown last year, when 890 fatal accidents and 26,200 non-fatals in the Unites States were caused by defectivt breaks. When you take your car 01 truck to one of the state's me chanical inspection lanes for its check-up, brakes are among thi most important mechanisms to be tested. The Manual of Motor Vehicle mechanical inspection require ments has this to say abou. braking effort: "All motor vehicles except motor trucks or tractor-trucks, with semi-trailers originally equipped with 4-wheel brake, may not in this respect be alt ered, shall be capable of pro- ] ducing a total breaking effort | of not less than 54 per cent of the vehicle weight (correspond ing to a stopping distance of 2t> feet at 20 miles per hour.) "All motor vehicles originally equipped with 2-wheel service j brakes shall be capable of pro ducing a total braking effort of not less than 30 per cent of the vehicle weight (corresponding to a stopping distance of 4t feet at 20 miles per hour).

All the stopping distances set forth in the above requirements vouid be on dry, hard level stretch of highway, free from oose material when brakes are applied.
